i love my X1 but since my last car was an A5 with quattro the differences are pretty pronounced. i havent driven the x1 in the snow yet (and im sure its very good) but in the dry and wet, the x1's traction light comes on and with quattro all you get is grip and acceleration. quattro is much better when accelerating around turns - its like the chassis has to overcome xdrive to go faster while quattro makes you a better/faster driver. its ok though b/c bmws are traditionally RWD and i didnt expect the x1 to be a rally type of car
